五
在约壹二章十三节上半，“那从起初原有的”乃是那永远、在万有之先存在的基督，就是从起初原有的生命之话；凭生命的方式认识这样一位永远的基督，会叫我们在神圣的生命里成熟，不受异端所欺骗，他们说基督不像父那样是永远的─约壹一1。
In 1 John 2:13a Him who is from the beginning is the eternal, preexisting Christ, who is the Word of life from the beginning; knowing in the way of life such an eternal Christ will cause us to mature in the divine life and not be deceived by heresies that say that Christ is not eternal as the Father is—1:1.

在启示录五章五节，基督称为“大卫的根”，乃是以赛亚十一章十节的应验：
As the fulfillment of Isaiah 11:10, Christ in Revelation 5:5 is called "the Root of David":
As the fulfillment of Isaiah 11:10, Christ in Revelation 5:5 is called "the Root of David":
１
这名称表征基督是大卫的根源；因此，大卫在肉身里虽是祂的先祖，也称祂为“主”─太二二42~45。
This title signifies that Christ is the source of David; therefore, David, as His forefather in the flesh, called Him "Lord"—Matt. 22:42-45.
This title signifies that Christ is the source of David; therefore, David, as His forefather in the flesh, called Him "Lord"—Matt. 22:42-45.
２
基督是大卫的根，这事实的意思是祂比大卫更大；基督比大卫更有能，更得胜，并有神完全的权柄─赛十一10，启三7，太二八18~19。
The fact that Christ is the Root of David means that He is greater than David; Christ is more powerful and victorious than David and has God's authority in full—Isa. 11:10; Rev. 3:7; Matt. 28:18-19.

二
关于基督是大卫后裔之预言的应验，见于罗马一章三节，那里说，基督按肉体说，是从大卫后裔生的；基督在祂的人性里是大卫的后裔，是由大卫所生─撒下七12~13，太一1。
The fulfillment of the prophecy concerning Christ as the seed of David is found in Romans 1:3, which says that Christ came out of the seed of David according to the flesh; Christ in His humanity was a descendant of David and was born of David—2 Sam. 7:12-13; Matt. 1:1.

基督是大卫的源头，也是大卫的后代─启二二16下：
Christ is both the source of David and the issue of David—Rev. 22:16b:
Christ is both the source of David and the issue of David—Rev. 22:16b:
１
在神性方面，基督是大卫的根，是他的源头；在人性方面，基督是大卫的后裔，是他的后代。

Hence, He is the Lord as the Root of David, and He is also the son, the shoot, of David as the Offspring of David—Matt. 22:42-45; Jer. 23:5.

In the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies, Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah—Gen. 49:9; Rev. 5:5:
一
创世记四十九章九节的预言将基督比喻为小狮子和卧狮─表征基督是敌挡仇敌的刚强战士，并且是终极的得胜者；这乃是基督在钉十字架时，战胜祂仇敌的一幅图画，也是祂在升天里，得胜所带来之满足与安息的一幅图画─西二15，来二14，弗四8。
The prophecy in Genesis 49:9 likens Christ to a young lion and to a couching lion—a symbol of Christ as a strong fighter against the enemy and as the ultimate Overcomer; this is a picture of the victory of Christ over His enemies in His crucifixion and of His satisfaction and rest in His ascension as the issue of His victory—Col. 2:15; Heb. 2:14; Eph. 4:8.

诗篇四十五篇六至七节预言关于基督是神，祂的宝座是永永远远的，祂国的权杖是正直的；祂的神用欢乐的油膏祂，胜过膏祂的同伙；这些预言的应验是在希伯来一章八至九节：
Psalm 45:6-7 prophesies concerning Christ as God, whose throne is forever and ever and the scepter of whose kingdom is uprightness, and as the One whose God has anointed Him with the oil of exultant joy above His partners; these prophecies are fulfilled in Hebrews 1:8-9:

We are Christ's anointed partners; He, the anointed One, is anointed above us, and we, the anointed ones, are anointed under Him.
２
在神的经纶里，基督是神所立以完成神的计划者，我们乃是基督在神圣权益上的同伙；祂为神所膏，我们也与祂一同分受这膏，以完成神的定旨─太十六18，来三15，林后一21。
